Question

Explain the characteristics of elastic and inelastic collision.

Answer 1

Answer:

Characteristics of elastic collision:-)

☆1》 The Momentum is conserved.

☆2》 Total energy is conserved.

☆3》The kinetic energy is conserved.

☆4》 Forces involved during the collision are conservative.

☆5》The mechanical energy is not converted into heat, light, sound,etc.

characteristics of inelastic collision:-)

☆1》 The momentum is conserved.

☆2》 The total energy is conserved.

☆3》 The kinetic energy is not conserved.

☆4》 Sum or all the forces involved are non conservative.

☆5》A part of mechanical energy is converted into heat, light,,etc.

Answer 2

Answer: the total initial kinetic energy of the bodies is equal to the total final kinetic energy of the bodies then,it is called as elastic collision
